Dog Royaltees + Twitter + Contests = Huge Success

The Twitter contests hosted by Dog Royaltees have brought huge success for the company in a small amount of time.

Dog Royaltees first joined the Twitter community in July 2010 in hopes of opening up communications with their customers. That first step through the social-networking door turned out to be a huge first step, and the company’s owner, Stephanie Frieze, couldn’t be happier with the results. “We’ve gained nearly 800 followers on the website in about 2 months which far exceeds the initial goals we put in place. We thought that people would join rather slowly, so we put together a promotional contest for followers on Twitter,” said Ms. Frieze. The contest was called the 300 Followers Twitter Contest, and the prize was a free custom dog t-shirt. The winner, Pepper from Michigan, was selected and pictures of Pepper wearing her new t-shirt are now posted on the Dog Royaltees website.

Dog Royaltees decided to follow-up the success of their first Twitter contest with another follower contest, only this time setting the bar higher at 1000 followers. “Hitting 1000 followers will be a significant achievement for the company, and my calculations are predicting that we will hit that goal within the next three weeks,” said Ms. Frieze.

“I have no doubt that the company’s exposure across the Twitter network is directly-linked to the increased traffic we have visiting our company’s webpage. We have customers ordering from well outside our local business area,” said Ms. Frieze. “Plus, Twitter has increased our connections with other companies and organizations inside the pet industry by over 400%.”

Dog Royaltees has announced plans to extend into several more social networks before the end of September.

Are You Barking Mad?!

If so, you’re just like us. We are Grooming Gorgeous, Sunbury-on-Thames’ premier dog grooming salon.

Grooming Gorgeous is run by a local couple from Sunbury-on-Thames, Emma Dean, under the watchful eye of Coco woof woof!

The inspiration behind Grooming Gorgeous came when Coco became a special family member, one that required a lot of grooming, pampering and generally being spoilt.

From taking Coco to regular grooming appointments, Emma and Dean soon realised that Lower Sunbury was missing a dog grooming salon that it could call its own.

Having both grown up with pet dogs and cats we decided to combine our love for animals into a family business and Grooming Gorgeous was launched.

Emma is a fully qualified City Guilds dog and cat groomer and Dean looks after all the business stuff.

Together we provide a friendly professional service with pet’s requirements, wellbeing and enjoyment at the focus of everything that we do in the Salon.

We treat all pets like our own (little Coco) and are also members of the Pet Care Trust and British Dog Groomer Association so you can be rest assured that your pet is always in safe professional hands.

Do you own a dog? If you answer yes to this question, then let me tell you about A Paw Print Journal and A Paw Print Disaster Recovery Booklet.

A Paw Print Journal is a place to store your entire dog’s history and will be providing you with the best option to keep all your records and memories. This journal is designed to engage the whole family in the process of raising a puppy and create long lasting memories. Beautifully designed large black and white graphics will provide children the opportunity to add their touch to the journal by coloring in the pictures. “Paw Print Journal is a lovely and heart-warming gift or keepsake for true animal lovers” this is what the BC SPCA Vancouver Branch, recently commented on their facebook page.
If you are concerned about what may happen to your dog during a major emergency then you need to have A Paw Print Disaster Recovery Booklet. This booklet will give you peace of mind; by storing important information into this booklet you can then place this booklet into your emergency response kits at home or the office. It is our belief that if these booklets would have been placed in emergency response kits during the recent disaster of Katrina that devastate New Orleans and left so many dogs unattended and frightened then having this information could have provided valuable information to rescue workers. The rescue workers would have been able to move the dog to an area that may not have been affected and able to reunited the families with their dogs. Can you find a good enough excuse not to have one of these booklets?
To order your Paw Print Journal or Paw Print Disaster Recovery Booklet please send us an e-mail to info@pawprintjournal.com
